How to create 3D Models using Autodesk Fusion
Save a empty version of the design first
Create a 2D sketch by selecting plane, and use sketch tools to outline the sketch.
Put in the dimensions after sketching
After making the 2D profile, extrude the model to any amount you want, and click 'Ok'
Can add additional details like adding holes or hollowing out certain parts
To add holes, create a new sketch and click on a part of the 3D model then choose where the hole will be at and if the hole is circular set it's diameter. Finally extrude it downward to create a hole, and click 'Ok'.
To hollow out the model, sketch a outline for the hollowed out part you want then finish sketch.
When extruding move it downwards and click 'Ok'.
